We've got barefoot ladies and tricked out mercedes
And people getting crazy on the boulevard
We've got classic colas and ice cold corona's
And big pool parties in the back yard

[chorus]
Hey that's the way we do it
New friends and blue skies that never end
Hey that's the way we like it
Good times, sunshine and summertime

You'll see straw sombreros and t-top cameros
And stereos blastin' in the parking lot
You'll see rock hard bodies and bikini hotties
And everybody's got it goin' on
And showin' what they've got

[chorus]

Hey everybody can't you feel the rhythm now
Hey everybody don't you want to party
Hey everybody can't you feel the rhythm now
Hey everybody don't you wanna party

Well it's a long way from Star, Mississippi
To the big stage I'm singing on tonight
And sometimes the butterflies still get me
When I'm in the spotlight

And some people seem to think that I've changed
That I'm different than I was back then
But in my soul I know that I'm the same way
That I really always been

[Chorus:]
Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just cause everybody knows her name
Ain't big-headed from a little bit of fame
I still like wearing my old ball cap
Ride my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around the world
But y'all I'm still a Mississippi girl

Well I spent a few weeks in California
They put my face on the big movie screen
But that don't mean I've forgotten where I came from
That's just me chasing dreams, yeah

[Chorus:]
Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just cause everybody knows her name
Ain't big headed from a little bit of fame
I still like wearing my old ball cap
Ride my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around the world
But y'all I'm still a Mississippi girl

Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just cause everybody knows her name
Ain't big headed from a little bit of fame
I still like wearing my old ball cap
Ride my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around the world
But y'all I'm still a Mississippi girl

Mississippi girl
oohh
Mississippi girl
Mississippi girl
yeah yeah
oo ohh

Good morning, dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To watch two people we know make a big mistake
They'll stand up at the alter
And solemnly swear i do
They'll be together forever
'til they find somebody new

Her daddy's in the front row
Muttering oh no here we go again
They had a couple dates
Now she's three months late
And it's twenty buck a plate i spent, oh:

Good morning, dearly beloved
I'd like to welcome ya'll
To see the side-effects of sex and alcohol
Please bow your heads and join me
In a prayer for these two
Who'll be together forever
'til they find somebody new

The bride is a flirt and the groom is worse
As he's putting the ring on her
He's checking out the bridesmaids
Thinking that he might take
The maid of honor's honor, oh:

Welcome, dearly beloved
We are here this afternoon
To throw rice as these two
Drive down the road to ruin
With cans tied to the bumper
And a dragging muffler too
They'll be together forever
Until they find somebody new

So raise your glass and join me
Here's to the bride and groom
They'll be together forever

. . .



You've worn the soles off both your shoes
Walkin' on me like ya do
This ain't what forever's for
And I ain't gonna take it
I ain't gonna take it anymore

I've cried and begged and cursed and prayed
But nothing's worked, nothing's changed
No way I win when you keep score
And I ain't gonna take it
I ain't gonna take it anymore

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna crawl out from this stone that I've been under
To see the light and breathe the air
And you'll have a million reasons why I shouldn't leave you
But for the first time in a long time I don't care

I guess on one hand you should laugh
'cause I've said the same things in the past
But this time one hand's on the door
And I ain't gonna take it
I ain't gonna take it, anymore

[repeat chorus]

Now I can't help but think of you
Lookin' back in my rear view
But I've been down that road before
And I ain't gonna take it
I ain't gonna take it anymore
I ain't gonna take it

. . .



It's late enough all you kids should be home
The policeman says as he takes your beer for his own
You remember wondering what his wife
Thought about his occupation

He knows that you were just chasing a dream
To the town line and then back and over again
So he winks at you girls
And tells you all "I'll see you later"

[chorus]
I was stealing kisses from a boy
Now I'm begging affection from a man
In my housedress don't know you who I am
Standing in your kitchen

It's late enough your husband's dinner is cold
So you wrap it up and leave it for him on the stove
It's probably the traffic again
Or another important meeting

And you haven't talked to an adult all day
'cept your neighbor who drives you crazy
When he finally gets in he's sure not in the mood for talking

[chorus]

And hours become days and days become years
And you could burn down this town
If they made matches from fear
Buy you're no worse off than anybody else
Hey don't you even know, don't you even know yourself

So you're standing outside your high school door
The one you walked out of twenty years before
And you whisper to all of the girls, run, run, run

I was stealing kisses from a boy
Now I'm begging affection from a man
In my housedress don't you know who I am

. . .



Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
Before you knew me I traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture tinkerbell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell

[chorus]
I believe in fairytales and dreamers dreams like bed sheet sails
And I believe in peter pan and miracles
And anything I can to get by
And fireflies

Before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings
Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
"life is hard, and so is love, child, believe in all these things"
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell

[chorus]

Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
Before you knew me I traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles and fell in love

. . .


With Tim McGraw

You never looked so good
As you did last night
Underneath those city lights
There walking with your friend
Laughing at the moon
I swear you looked right through me
But I'm still living with your goodbye
And you're just going on with your life

[chorus]
How can you just walk on by
Without one tear in your eye
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all

You, I hear you're doing fine
Seems like you're doing well
As far as I can tell
Time is leaving us behind
Another week has passed
And still I haven't laughed yet
So tell me what your secret is
To letting go like you did, like you did

[chorus]

Did you forget the magic
Did you forget the passion
Did you ever miss me
Ever long to kiss me

[chorus]


. . .



The eagle wants a canyon
And a place where he can rest his wings a while
The drifter wants a freight train
That will carry him another hundred miles
The lion's only lookin' for something he can sink his teeth into
Oh and I want you

The devil wants a fella
With a weakness he can wrap his arms around
The champion wants a challenger
Who just might have the strength to take him down
The river wants an ocean to run towards
And pour its heart into
Oh and I want you

Oh, every time that I'm around you
Oh, I'm on fire when we touch
Oh, when I hold you boy you know
I can't get close enough
Yes I want you

I could cry and say I need you
Tell you that I die when you're not here
I could lie and say I love you
Pour a little poison in your ear
But all I'm gonna give you is
Nothing but the bare and naked truth
Baby I want you

. . .



So hot outside all I can wear
Is these cut off overalls
And these sandals on my feet
But I emptied my pockets for a bus ticket
So I could sit there on a broken seat
I got no place I should go
I got no worries you know
Second or seventh street
It doesn't matter to me

[Chorus:]
'cause you're mine
That's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right cause I've got you to hold
Every night yeah
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one

Well I pulled back down to my upstreet apartment
And the air never works in that old place
Twenty-seven and I thought I'd be further along
Than just this rented space
I got no papers to read
I got no cable tv
And I got no places to be
I got no people to meet

[chorus]

I'm on a roll
When I'm with you
Don't stop me now
I just can't lose


. . .



Well I've come to know the look on your face
When you're lying about where you've been
Or how much you spent

I know when you will raise your fingers
To your mouth as if to wipe away the shame
It's not a game I know you feel bad

[chorus]
If you ask for my forgiveness
If you call my name I will come
If you ask for my love I will give you some

Someday I know you will understand
Someday you'll finally realize
What you're doing to yourself

[chorus]

We've been dancing to
That same old song over and over again
I want to be your lover
I don't want to be your policeman

So tonight when you finally make
Your way back to our door
I'll let you sleep it off like I did the night before

When you ask for my forgiveness
When you call my name I will come
When you ask for my love I will give you some

In the morning I will get you up and
I will smile just when you want me to

. . .



What if no one would kill for their religion
What if no one ever had to go to war
What if the children of the world made world decisions
Paint-by-number hatred wasn't hanging around anymore

Is everything a-ok in the usa
In the good ole usa
Is everything a-ok in the usa
In the good ole usa

It's like everything and nothing leads to wisdom
It's like no one really means what they say
While we fight for peace & die for our freedom
I guess we'll leave it to our children to find a better way

Is everything a-ok in the usa
In the good ole usa
Is everything a-ok in the usa
In the good ole usa

[repeat chorus]

I know that i, I'm just a dreamer
A common man, schemer
Looking for light
Out of the dark night of my soul

I hear the drums of war, they are a changing
And everybody's getting in the groove
We're laughing and dancing and talking and jammin' and singin'
Oh, we've got nothin' but love to prove, so how about you

Is everything a-ok in the usa
In the good ole usa
Is everything a-ok in the usa

. . .



Tv flashes down the hall
Painting pictures on the wall
And you're still sleeping on my knees
And in the glow of silver light
I trace the lines above your eyes
Just another wrinkle that you can blame on me

But I can hear the current of the freeway in the distance
If I keep listening
And I wonder if you ever thought of streaming off
Somewhere with it
Am I not what you thought
Will you get tired of what you got

[Chorus:]
If I can't give you anymore
Than weathered ships and distant shores
Would you still be my compass
'cause you keep loving me the same
I don't know how but you still stay with me, baby
You stay with me, baby

Another day, another week
We'll slip back in old routines
'til nights like these come in between
Simple moments in the dark
Ones that life can't tear apart
They come along just when we need

And I still hear the current of the freeway in the distance
But I stop listening
'cause I know you'll stay even though the waves are always shifting

We're fighting our way through

. . .



A setting sun that paints a tie-dyed sky
A feather bed, an ancient lullaby
A kiss good night from one whose love is true
That's the kind of day I wish for you

A field of flowers dancing in the spring
A little creek, a tree, an old rope swing
Cotton candy clouds against the blue
That's the kind of day I wish for you

First love with all its storm
Raging like fire within
Tossing your heart to chance
You swear the dance will never end

But then it does and someone says goodbye
And after all those empty nights you cried
The morning that you wake up good as new
That's the kind of day I wish for you

The faith of knowing deep inside your heart
That heaven holds more than just some stars
Someone's up there watching over you

. . .



The train pulled into paris like a rocket to the moon
The station's like a circus every face is a cartoon
Everybody's stoned on pride and drunk on cheap champagne
Tonight this joie de vivre sure don't live up to its name
And now all that I can say

[Chorus:]
Is I'd give this world to you
Every rock and every stone every masterpiece in rome
And if you asked me to
I'd steel the mona lisa, tear it up in little pieces
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
But tonight I can't give you paris

Aristocrats are everywhere
And the air's as thick as thieves
She'd like nothing better than to steal the breathe from me
The tower's lights ain't shinin' as it hangs its head in shame
At the sight of american blood on the streets of st. germain
Washin' up into the seine

[repeat chorus]

And I'd give this world to you
I'd steal the crown and kingdom from the queen of england
And if you asked me to
I'd take this city in my hands, break it down in grains of sand
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
